dedet anan a tja pinarekakakakakan.
Free translation:
We are close relatives.
Word gloss:
- de-det: close relatives
- anan: still, yet
- a: subject case marker
- pinarekakakakakan: sisterhood or brother-hood. The root is kaka 'brother or sister'. This is a very interesting word, complicated in the way it is formed and richer in the production of its meaning. However, I can't analyze it right now. My apology. I will do it next time.
